Chapter 106 Uncle Lin’s Final Decision
Li Yada and Huan Gou still underestimated the unity of the people in Shilou Village.
If the clan leader had not told everyone to wait in the mobile phone group, when the Zhou family members were banging on the door, countless members of the Lin family would have rushed out to stop them.
But Uncle Lin Peidong, the old fox, deliberately waited until the other party completed the entire criminal act and caused major property losses before showing up.
The purpose is not only to make the Zhou family pay the price, but more importantly, to make them pay the price so that they will take a detour when they encounter Shilou Village in the future.
Li Yadan was frightened at this time. She hid behind Huan Gou and pretended to be calm and asked:
"You, what are you doing? This is a society ruled by law, don't mess around!"
The crowd parted, and Uncle Lin walked out from the crowd with a smile on his face:
"This sister-in-law is right. We live in a society ruled by law now. How can we call for violence and killing? Dezhi, you are a lawyer. Can you tell me what crimes these people have committed?"
A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood up. He was wearing a white shirt and a tie late at night, and his hair was neatly combed. He seemed out of place with the villagers.
Lin Dezhi is a lawyer and also a member of the Shilou Village. He is of the same generation as Lin Sanqi and is the fifth child. When he was summoned, he rushed back to the village as quickly as possible.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
"Madam, we have recorded the entire process of so many of you running into the homes of our Shilou villagers, smashing doors, and threatening to arrest people. The surveillance footage clearly shows that it was you who directed your men to destroy the Lin family's private property.
And the surveillance footage also clearly shows that it was you who ordered your men to carry away the Lin family's safe. Now the safe is in your car. All the evidence can show that you have been convicted of home robbery.
According to Article 263 of the Criminal Law, home robbery is an aggravating circumstance of robbery and is punishable by imprisonment of not less than ten years, life imprisonment or death penalty, and a fine or confiscation of property.
You are also charged with organizing a gang, illegally entering a residence, attempted intentional injury, and many other crimes. I hope you can find a good lawyer, otherwise you will face a heavy sentence!
Li Yada's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this was going to be bad.
The Zhou family’s previous routine was that the boss gave orders from behind, the black security guards rushed to the front, and finally found a scapegoat to go to jail and the matter was settled.
But the incident happened suddenly today, and Li Yada looked down on rural people, so the whole process was clearly captured by the surveillance camera, and it was clear who the main culprit and who the accomplice were.
But Li Yada was not giving up and tried to make excuses.
"No, it's just a door that hits the door and a few broken tables. At most, we can compensate you. And how much is this safe? Just name a price and we'll pay for it all."
Uncle Lin chuckled a few more times: "Is Lin Xi here?"
The crowd parted, and Lin Xi, dressed in a police uniform, ran over with his men: "Grandpa, I'm here, I'm here!"
Uncle Lin pointed at Lingnan Hall, where his house had been smashed, and said:
"Officer Lin, please gather evidence of this Black Du gang vandalizing the Lin family and robbing them. Shilou Village can provide all the surveillance footage. Also, please let them see what's inside the safe. This will determine the criteria for conviction. Please also let them see what's inside."
Lin Xi stood at attention: "Yes, I will complete the task."
Lin Xi, director of the street police station, is 41 years old this year and the fourth oldest in Lin Sanqi's generation.
Officer Lin arranged for someone to go to the Lin family to take photos and secure evidence, while he himself came to the safe and said to everyone:
"I'm going to open the safe now. If the items inside are of significant value, the sentence will be increased. Madam, please take a close look. We'll be recording the entire process with the police system, and we'll also have a professional appraise the value afterwards to ensure fairness and impartiality."
Li Yada swallowed, feeling extremely frightened.
She realized that Shilou Village was not a simple place. In a short period of time, a village protection team of hundreds of people and villagers were all in place. At the same time, lawyers and police were also present, and the chain of evidence was nailed down on the spot.
What kind of trap have I fallen into?
A villager brought a table from his home, and Officer Lin opened the safe. He then took out the items inside one by one and placed them on the table, recording the entire process.
One piece of wild ginseng aged 150 years, one piece of wild ginseng aged 1880 years, two pieces of wild ginseng aged 1960 years, one piece of wild ginseng aged 1950 years, and five pieces of ginseng from other years.
15 pills of Angong Niuhuang Pills.
70 grams of gold, 100,000 yuan in cash (for decoration materials)
Li Yadan became excited when she saw the green brocade box. "Is this Angong Niuhuang Pills? Didn't you say they were sold out?"
Lin Sanqi curled his lips: "None of your business!"
Officer Lin then asked Lin Musen, who had already arrived at the scene, "Comrade Lin, what is the estimated value of these herbs?"
Lin Musen blurted out without thinking: "These wild ginseng are worth about 8 or 9 million, and these Angong Niuhuang Pills are worth more than 2 million."
Officer Lin nodded. "Then these herbs, gold, and cash—the contents of this safe are worth at least tens of millions. This is a huge amount, and the nature of the crime is particularly egregious. Madam, I'm afraid you and your men will be sentenced to life imprisonment."
Li Yada was still immersed in the joy that her son was saved and Angong Niuhuang Pills were found, but now she was suddenly dumbfounded when she heard that she would be imprisoned for life.
"No, I didn't rob, we just broke down the door, officer, don't scare me!!!"
Officer Lin said righteously: "We have both witnesses and evidence, and we have captured both the perpetrator and the criminal!"
“Wait a minute!!!”
At this time, Zhou Ruili and his men rushed over from behind the crowd: "Officer, officer, this is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, please answer the phone!"
Officer Lin pushed the phone away and didn't pick it up.
"Sir, I'm handling the case on the spot. No matter who comes to intercede, it's useless. We've already captured both the perpetrator and the suspect. The stolen safe is still in your car. Look over there, the Lin family has been clearly vandalized."
A lawyer whispered in Zhou Ruili's ear:
"Beg for mercy and settle the matter privately now before the formalities are finalized. If the formalities are finalized, Mrs. Zhou will be sentenced to at least 10 years. The evidence against her is very solid."
Zhou Ruili knew what was going on. He walked up to his wife and slapped her twice:
"Silly woman, you've never read or learned since childhood. Now that you've made a mistake, why don't you go and apologize to Doctor Lin?"
At this time, Lin Sanqi came over and said, "This is not a mistake, it's a crime~~~"
Li Yadan was stunned, but she still said excitedly:
"Husband, the Lin family has 15 Angong Niuhuang Pills. Our son can be saved, he can be saved."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruili was like a deflated ball. He gently hugged his wife and said to Lin Musen:
"Doctor Lin, it's all our fault. Please forgive me, your silly wife. Also, please save my son."
Uncle Lin was sitting on a chair at this time, surrounded by members of the Lin family. Although he had a smile on his face, it was a typical fake smile:
"Boss Zhou, right? The CEO of Maxim's Group? I know the whole story, and I have a few questions for you: When you came to buy medicine, was my son, Ah Sen, rude to you? Or did he say anything hurtful?"
Zhou Ruili shook his head slightly: "No..."
"Did my son's Ah Sen use your son's illness as a threat to demand an exorbitant price, or did he just stand by and watch him die?"
“No, no…”
"Did my Ah Sen force any sales? Did he force you, Mr. Zhou, to buy this Angong Pill? Or did he use sweet words to deceive you, making you fall into a scam and get ripped off?"
"Still no..."
Uncle Lin stood up and walked over to Zhou Ruili and Li Yadan, who looked ashamed.
"Okay, my Asen didn't cheat anyone out of their money, didn't force anyone, didn't raise the price, and didn't stand by and watch someone die. Now let me ask you, Boss Zhou, look up. Why did you smash the doors of the people in Shilou Village, destroy the property inside, and even steal the safe?"
“This, this…”
Zhou Ruili was also smart. He knew that both he and his wife had made mistakes and committed crimes from a moral and legal perspective. If the people of Shilou Village refused to give in, he should beat them up collectively and then report them to the police station.
With the evidence already collected by the people of Shilou Village and the testimonies of hundreds of people at the scene, no matter how powerful the Zhou family is, they can probably only be sentenced to a few years less, and there is absolutely no way they can get away with it.
But since the people of Shilou Village did not report it, it means that there is still hope.
Business people are smart and they immediately figured out the problem.
The first is to pick up the face of the Lin family that was dropped on the ground, and the second is to compensate the Lin family for their losses.
After realizing this, Zhou Ruili knelt down immediately.
Li Yadan was anxious: "Husband, why are you kneeling in front of them? Why are you kneeling in front of them? Get up!!!"
Zhou Ruili slapped his wife's calf with his hand and cursed with gritted teeth:
"Kneel down! If you don't want to go to jail and don't want your son to die, kneel down now!"
Li Yadan closed her eyes and knelt down for her son. If it weren't for her son, she would have been ready to fight to the death with her temper.
"Grandpa Lin, Doctor Lin, all the mistakes are our fault. I apologize to Doctor Lin and I apologize to Shilou Village."
The men in Huadu kneel to the heaven, the earth, and their ancestors. Even if they are ordinary people, they will not kneel to outsiders. Now a billionaire directly kneels to admit his mistake. The villagers of Shilou Village suddenly feel proud and their hostility is reduced a lot.
Lin Sanqi was about to retort: "If admitting your mistakes is useful, then..."
Uncle Lin suddenly coughed lightly, stopping Lin Sanqi from continuing.
Wang Wenjuan, who was standing nearby, pulled her son to the back and said softly, "You have no right to speak in front of Grandpa. Listen to him."
Lin Sanqi quickly smiled ingratiatingly: "I listen to Grandpa, I listen to Grandpa!"
Uncle Lin nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhou Ruili:
"Boss Zhou, this is too much of a gift. Please stand up."
Zhou Ruili thought that he had already knelt down, so he prepared to continue the moral blackmail:
"Grandpa Lin, I'm kneeling here. Besides apologizing to the Lin family, more importantly, I'm begging Doctor Lin to save my son. My son is lying in the intensive care unit right now. Whether he can wake up depends entirely on Angong Niuhuang Wan. This is the medicine..."
After saying that, Zhou Ruili pointed to the 15 small green brocade boxes on the table not far away, tears streaming down his face.
"Grandpa Lin, Doctor Lin, please have mercy on my husband and me. We only have one son. If he dies, our family line will be cut off."
The incense has been cut off, which is definitely a major event in Dongguan Province, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is a family sinner.
Uncle Lin understood what was going on and asked Lin Musen, "Asen, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Musen quickly bent down and replied, "I'll listen to Grandpa!"
Uncle Lin then looked at the Zhou couple and said:
"Boss Zhou, curing illnesses and saving lives is a good deed. We, the Lin family of Shilou Village, will never stand by and watch someone die, but we are not Bodhisattvas in a temple saving all living things. You guys destroyed the Lin family today, so you have to give an explanation."
Zhou Ruili thought for a moment and said firmly:
"I have a suite in the Yide Mansion next to Shilou Village, over 200 square meters. I'm willing to compensate Dr. Lin's family, and the transfer will be completed tomorrow morning."
The villagers nearby all exclaimed in surprise. Even the smallest house in Yide Mansion is worth tens of millions.
Lin Musen took a breath when he heard this.
Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up with stars after hearing this. This high-end residence that he used to envy for a long time every time he passed by it, now he will have his own one in the future?
On the contrary, Uncle Lin was very calm and continued to nod slightly:
"Boss Zhou is sincere. I'll take this apartment. Then the incident of vandalizing the Lin family will be over. Dezhi, you go there in person tomorrow and find someone you know. I'll help transfer the property to your uncle Sen's family and get the ownership certificate within a day."
Lin Dezhi bowed gently: "Okay, Grandpa."
Uncle Lin then said, "Then the second thing."
Uncle Lin finished speaking and took an Angong Niuhuang Pill.
What kind of precious medicine is this? Do the Zhou family need it to save their son? If they can't buy it, they'll just rob it. Then I can't sell it all to the Zhou family at once. I should at least leave a few pills for myself and Shilou Village.
"Boss Zhou, you guys urgently need this, this An..."
Lin Sanqi said softly like a lackey, "Angong Niuhuang Wan, this is a special edition, not available on the market."
"Oh, these are Angong Niuhuang Pills, specially supplied. Boss Zhou wants to buy some. I'd like to add a zero to the end. I can sell you 10 pills. Is that enough for you to save someone?"
When they heard the old man say that the price was to be added with a zero, Zhou Ruili and his wife and Lin Musen's family once again took a deep breath.
The total price was 1.5 million, which became 15 million in one sentence. Even if the Zhou family was rich, this amount of money was not a small sum, and it was cash, not fixed assets.
Lin Sanqi reminded him a little embarrassedly: "Grandpa, this medicine costs 150,000 yuan per pill. If you add a zero, it becomes 1.5 million yuan per pill."
"I lost it!"
Uncle Lin was also shocked, thinking that he had asked for an exorbitant price without asking clearly.
But in order to maintain his image in front of the villagers, Uncle Lin still pretended to be calm and glanced at Lin Sanqi:
"What's wrong, Grandpa? Are your words no longer effective? I told you to add a zero, so just add one. That way, it will show that Boss Zhou is sincere in saving his son."
The old man thought: You can use moral blackmail, but I can't? I'm going to make the best of a bad situation now and see if you're willing to bleed for your son.
